<div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4"><b>I have been receiving this newsletter in my mailbox for a few years. I don't remember how I came across it in the first place but apparently it is produced in my new hometown of Hamilton! (Remember the bishop of Hamilton in the 1980s. A very thoughtful and truly progressive man who was generally interested in young people and how they came to their faith. I met him on retreat at Guelph one time and had a nice conversation with him - I was definitely part of the youth category at the time being about 23 - and didn't realize he was the Bishop. He was genuinely interested in me and my plans for living out my faith.</b></font></div><div><font size="4"><b>So, Hamilton was definitely at one time a place to inspire and foster faith.</b></font></div><div><font size="4"><b>I was interested in this piece that is the forerunner this week, as it touches in a topic that was brought up in last Sunday's reflection time. Being interested in the interplay of civil society and the powers that be, this article has some thoughtful suggestions about how our young people enter civil society as those who can now vote and support those powers. It seems to me sometimes that the elders of the Church (the hierarchy) don't care about young people and how we would want them to be educated in making their path to social and environmental justice in the world they live in. You have to admit our generation has made a bit of a mess of the environment especially.</b></font></div><div><font size="4"><b>So, I hope those who are interested in the progress of our next generations take some interest and this provokes some thought.</b></font></div><div><font size="4"><b><br></b></font></div><div><font size="4"><b>Peace, Pat</b></font></div><div><font size="4"><b><br></b></font></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><i>Patricia Smiley<br></i></div><div><i>email: <a href="mailto:smileypatricia76@gmail.com" target="_blank">smileypatricia76@gmail.com</a><br></i></div><i>mobile: 647-517-1599<br></i></div><i> <br></i></div></div></div></div></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Comment</b> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:editors@comment.org">editors@comment.org</a>></span><br>Date: Thu, Oct 3, 2024 at 12:36 PM<br>Subject: A politics of hope<br>To: <<a href="mailto:smileypatricia76@gmail.com">smileypatricia76@gmail.com</a>><br></div><br><br><div class="msg-6472650485896337683"><u></u>

<p style="font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif;line-height:100%"> </p>
<p style="line-height:150%;font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif">During Donald Trump’s first run for the White House, Adleta was working in a factory and catching snippets of <i>The Apprentice</i> star talking angrily about immigrants flooding into the country and jobs being shipped overseas because the Democrats did not care for the working class. Adleta, a card-carrying member of that class, “took Donald Trump’s dire warnings as little more than those of a carnival ringmaster.” Yet over time, the narrative started to draw him in. Adleta started seeing himself and his people as the victims of decisions the Democratics had made. And while he found a home in many of Trump’s policies, his identification with Trump’s rhetoric came at a cost: “I invited in bitterness and dissatisfaction and bade farewell to the healthy patriotism and determination found in the classical American mythology of promise.”</p>
<p style="font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif;line-height:100%"> </p>
<p style="line-height:150%;font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif">Then, Adleta found a hero in another American politician: Alexander Hamilton. Listening to the soundtrack to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical (and reading Ron Chernow’s biography on which it is based), Adleta saw the potency of a story about a hardworking outsider rising up through industry and perseverance. “I do think,” Adleta writes, as he reflects on his return to the factory where he eventually rose up, improved himself, and found his version of the American dream, “something verging on the sacred occurs when hope is allowed to leaven a people’s cultural identity in sobriety and solidarity.” (<a href="https://open.comment.org/e3t/Ctc/OS+113/d2CL7D04/VVtT9p3rJxLlVCW-Zc4yZmh8W67tPB75lKqcvMmLVT63qgyTW8wLKSR6lZ3n3W9drYGT8YQsgfW2C_t7C4P-ypWN2h-QgmR_8FlN2PLgygFqmVpW1-m2tJ6hxKMsW60KJ325_MnTgW1j-tDd2FtlH3N3y3nRd3-y72W6wbR8z75LzWWW8D63yK36txGYW4wFzrR1Dw5hrVrWdhs8jhCYHW3HdqCB4xm5zJW7p1wty3rysrgW65xDlx53293rN3QJlb5HNs2rW4-72zP3hD_SlN5Ddt_rJ8KdnN7f9Cn1Zktp4W2bD0Rs6GZwrYW6fv91d1NsYPdW6HrLx93cxwmKW3Jf_Ls77-38YW8H1GjY3ZqZvsW7nk5lh4VSB4JW5YdJs45yGWbVW74kl9G4Mc1X7W6zW2xx16sQB-f7_SC6n04" rel="noopener" style="color:#006dda" target="_blank">17 min read</a>)</p></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table>

But what exactly does that look like? And how is civic formation undertaken within the confines of academia? In this essay from the <i>Comment</i> archives, den Dulk acknowledges that civil society plays a role in such formation, but by no means should it be the only one with stakes in the game:</p>
<p style="line-height:150%;font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif"> </p>
<p style="line-height:150%;font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif;padding-left:40px">Let me stipulate that civil society, under the right conditions, <i>does</i> help us cultivate our life in common. The evidence is deep and wide on that point, though qualified considerably by those conditions. We might come away from participation in fraternal groups and sports leagues and houses of worship with capacities and dispositions that good citizens should possess. But maybe not. And recent evidence suggests that “maybe not” describes the reality more often than some civil-society triumphalists see or admit. Civil society, it seems, will not save politics.</p>
<p style="line-height:150%;font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif;padding-left:40px"> </p>
<p style="line-height:150%;font-family:PortraitText-Regular2,Georgia,serif;padding-left:40px">My university is not alone in misplacing political formation. The problem is widespread, even in the Western democracies we might expect to pay closest attention to educating citizens. The problem is also urgent, as public institutions and political cultures across the globe crack under the pressures of new forces and movements. Our efforts at civic education are not up to the task of the political moment. The challenge is how to educate for citizenship when civil society is not necessarily built for that purpose—and might even, under the right conditions, choke the effort. The challenge is how to educate for citizenship by taking politics and its locus in the state seriously.
